Guitar Lesson - Bookends - Simon & Garfunkel

[DrDonDotson]

Could you do a version of "Old friends" as well?

[buyerofsorts]

Not quite how its played actually...

[meamud]

What kind of guitar do you have?

[gugalpm]

Awesome.

[Thatsniperonthehill3]

Thank you so much......I 've been wondering for years how that was played and really it's quite simple, however I would have probably not have done it without you.

[rainbowskelter]

Long ago, it must be I figured this out wrong. With capo on second fret (Doh) .....Makes much more sense with the capo on the 4th fret...

Thanks for posting this.. it's way more fun to play it correctly

[10Daytripper]

I can't follow the order I'm supposed to play each of these parts in... can you post the order or a tab or something to help me? Very beautiful song, best tutorial on here.

[shugdugger]

Another one of my all time favorites by S&G (and Mark)! Looking at your channel, you are doing a great job of teaching us some really good tunes. You are the best!

[LaUrA20002]

[thepsyche35]

I am pretty much a beginner, but I heard this song on a movie and had to learn it. So beautiful, thanks for the lesson. I am getting the hang of it. Thanks again. What other songs that you've done would you recommend for a beginner?

[tellmewhatsahappenin]

this is one of my favorite songs of all time- can't wait to learn it.

[kiwkee]

[SimonandGarfunkel92]

What a haunting little melody. Gotta' love all things Simon & Garfunkel. Thanks Mark!

[akfleachadjohn]

i dont know.

I can follow most of that.

but you lose me there in the 2nd half of the lesson. I got it for the most part. but not sure

if you explain all the parts, or not.

[ROBERTTHESCEPTIC]

Good lesson

[tamajoey]

[goldhat3]

American Tune lesson already posted on my channel.

Mark, Great job with another tantalyzing beautiful Simon & Garfulkel gem. I'm still waiting for my thumb to heal, but am really excited to get such excellent instruction from a master teacher.

[goldhat3]

Master teacher... hmmm, that sounds good. Snatch the pebble from my hand, weed hopper..

[faustus999]

mark, thanks for this great guitar lesson of a beautiful song. the way you explain it is excellent, even a useless beginner guitarist like myself can have a go. cheers mark for posting your lessons. especially simon and garfunkle tunes.

[goldhat3]

It's a good song to learn, short and sweet.

[DidavG]

Great lesson G. nice sound + guitar and shirt match.

[goldhat3]

Hmmm...I see what you mean. Also suspenders, pants, and wallpaper. This would be a good match to do some blues tunes.

[Steakies]

I love these lessons!

However, you are playing either in Ab or G# with regard to your capo, you said "C".

Take care. ;)

[Twirretwarre]

Goldhat, great, you are back. You explain very clearly. Would this be the easiest one to start with, or am I wrong? I'm not that familiar with guitar, the F chord I still cannot play, so I'm practicing that. And than come C D G A Am and than I've had it.... I can still learn alot from you.

Think you are really a good teacher.

[goldhat3]

This is not really a beginner song, although it sounds easy, it is pretty tricky. But you should try it and see if you can do it. Thanks for your kind comments.

[nrmwntrs]

Thanks goldhat,your lessons help so much.Makes playing guitar fun again.
